in capitalised red lettering within it, and the year in red below the scroll. Two embroidered
red
concentric diamonds on right breast, alongside neck insert. Number split
into two shades of red,

In the five
friendly games, England's captain
wore a red armband with a red emblem, a lower-case 'v' in red below the
emblem, a white scroll, outlined in red, below the 'v', with the
opponent's name in capitalised red lettering within it and the year in
red below the scroll. The armbands worn in the European Championship
final tournament were blue and featured the UEFA RESPECT logo. In the
World Cup qualification matches, they were plain red.

Variations

A
long-sleeved version of the shirt was also worn, though a number of
players wore a white base layer underneath, instead. There were no
distinguishing features on the lower sleeves.

The
shirts worn by Ashley Cole, and Adam and Glen Johnson also included their first initial
i.e. A. COLE, A. JOHNSON and G. JOHNSON. Cole continued to display his
first initial, despite Carlton and Joe Cole making their last
appearances in 2010. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain only
included his paternal family name (CHAMBERLAIN) on his shirts.

For the
games in the European Championship final tournament,
England had logos embroidered
onto the upper sleeves. The UEFA EURO 2012 logo was on the
right arm and the UEFA RESPECT logo was on the left arm.

In
the five World Cup qualification fixtures, England had the 2014 FIFA WORLD CUP BRAZIL QUALIFIERS
logo embroidered onto the right sleeve and the MY GAME IS FAIR PLAY FIFA
logo on the left sleeve.

The names of
England's opponents, as they appeared in the scrolls, were BELGIUM, BRAZIL,
FRANCE, HOLLAND, ITALY, MONTENEGRO, SAN MARINO, SWEDEN and UKRAINE.

England wore an alternative pair of red shorts against Italy in Bern,
with a white drawstring,
a white number on the left thigh in the same font as on the
shirt, two white concentric diamonds underneath and a white
emblem on the right thigh.

Most Appearances

11 - Danny Welbeck (2 sub)

10 - Steven Gerrard,
James Milner (3 sub)

42 players wore this shirt.

Even though Welbeck appeared
in more games than anyone, Gerrard started more games and was on the
pitch for around half an hour longer than Welbeck.

11 players made their
international debut in this shirt, but four of them never played again
for England, and another three made just one more appearance. Fraizer
Campbell saw just fifteen minutes of action (including added time) on
the shirt's debut, against Netherlands, in his only full international.

Leon Osman won both of his
caps in this shirt.

Raheem Sterling, on the
other hand, had made 29 appearances by the end of 2016.

Another six players won
their last cap in the shirt, including John Terry, making his 78th
appearance.

Top Scorers

6 - Wayne Rooney (1 pen.)

5 - Frank Lampard (2 pens.)

4 - Jermain Defoe,
Danny Welbeck

8 players scored their first
goal for England in this shirt, with Welbeck going on to score 14.

For 4 of them, it was their
only international goal, and for Steven Caulker, it was also his only
appearance, in the 4-2 defeat to Sweden, in Stockholm.

Defoe's goals gave him a total of 19
and he then had to wait four years for his twentieth.

Captains

9 - Steven Gerrard

2 - Frank Lampard

1 -
Scott Parker, Wayne Rooney

Following Stuart Pearce's
selection of Parker as captain for the only time, Roy Hodgson gave the
armband to Gerrard and stuck to his decision, without any of the
controversies that had dogged Fabio Capello over his selections.

Gerrard was also captain on
the occasion of his hundredth appearance, against Sweden, in Stockholm,
coincidentally, the same opponents from when he was captain for the
first time, in 2004.

His 98th appearance,
however, ended two minutes early, when he picked up a second yellow card
and was sent off against Ukraine in a World Cup qualifier.

Umbro
signed off, after 28 years continuous service to the England team, with
a design guaranteed to please the purists. For the first time in 903
full internationals, England took to the field without any trace of blue
in the kit.

Even the crest was rendered completely in red and England, thus, entered
the Football Association's 150th year with a kit that purely reflected
the colours in the cross of St. George. It was also a switch back to
predominantly all white, after the
previous kit's
blue shorts, and with the addition of a pair of red shorts against
Italy, Umbro managed to introduce a colour combination that was unique
in the national team's history.

With Fabio Capello resigning just three weeks before England's friendly
with the Netherlands, Stuart Pearce was temporarily given charge of the
team, but it was Roy Hodgson who was the surprise choice to take the job
on a permanent basis, and his first task was to get them through the
European Championship final tournament, where England reached the
quarter-finals, with a mostly defensive approach.

The following season, however, England rose to third in the FIFA
rankings, beating both Italy and Brazil, before it was time for Umbro to
hand over the responsibility of dressing the England team to their
parent company, Nike.
